Bully Ray Wants John Cena To Take Credit For R-Truth Getting Fired By WWE
Bully Ray wants John Cena to take credit for R-Truth getting fired by WWE.
The pro wrestling world is struggling to get over Truth's departure from WWE. Truth (aka Ron Killings) announced his exit from the company this past weekend, revealing the company was not going to renew his contract.

The announcement triggered a wave of reaction on social media, with fans and peers expressing their shock and disappointment. John Cena, whom Truth faced in what turned out to be his send-off match, also reacted to the high-profile release.
During a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray pitched a notorious angle involving John Cena, noting it could give credibility to Cena's attempt to ruin wrestling for everyone.
Bully Ray's pitch involves The Rock as well
'At the press conference a couple of weeks ago, before Cena put truth through the table, he said, you know, 'Ron, I've never liked you,' Bully said. 'If this whole true thing is legit and he's getting [let go] and they're not renewing his contract, or as he says, released. I put John Cena on TV with a microphone in his hand and I say, and he says I never liked Ron Killings.

''Ron Killings was released because of me. I'm ruining it. I said I was going to ruin wrestling. I'm ruining it for you fans. You loved this guy. I know you love this guy. I called The Rock. The Rock released Ron Killings. End of story. You want you got a problem with it? Write a letter.'
For those unaware, John Cena turned heel and aligned with The Rock at Elimination Chamber 2025. The pair, alongside Travis Scott, destroyed Cody Rhodes at the PLE. While The Fina Boss didn't appear at WrestleMania, Cena did defeat Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship after Scott's interfered to cause a distraction for the American Nightmare.

Cody Rhodes, Jade Cargill earn title shots at SummerSlam as they're crowned King and Queen of the Ring
The finals of the King and the Queen of the Ring tournaments came to an end on Saturday at WWE Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, and it came with major stakes attached. Cody Rhodes defeated Randy Orton on the men's side, and Jade Cargill defeated Asuka in the women's bracket. "The American Nightmare" pushed Orton into the exposed turnbuckle and put him into the Cross Rhodes. He pinned Orton for the win and was given the crown. "I am well aware. I hear each and every one of you. This is an arduous path. First, Jey Uso, the most beloved character in all of WWE. Then, the modern locker room later, the man, Randy Orton. And at SummerSlam, that means I'm facing either CM Punk or John Cena," Rhodes said. "And I completely get how you feel as an audience when I go up against these beloved characters, but I want you to hear it from me — I was born to do this. Whenther it be CM Punk or John Cena, they are holding onto that belt for themselves, and they are holding onto it for me, because at SummerSlam I get the ball back." Asuka nearly had the storm that Cargill brought to Riyadh tamed. She had Cargill in a submission hold, but Cargill was able to get out of it and break free. Cargill interrupted Asuka's "Empress Impact" and hit her with "Jaded." "When I first entered this tournament, it felt like the world was on my shoulders. But, you know, for the people out there who are doubting themselves, praise yourself because you are fighting through the boos. Don't let them tell you who you are — you show them," she said after the match. "And the grind don't' stop. A storm is coming for SummerSlam." Rhodes and Cargill both have world title shots at SummerSlam guaranteed with their King and Queen of the Ring tournament wins. Rhodes is likely to go up against John Cena in rematch of WrestleMania 41 for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Cena defeated CM Punk to retain the title early in the night. Both Cena and Punk thwarted Seth Rollins' cash-in attempt. But Rollins got the last laugh when he stomped Punk, screwing him out of a title. Cargill will either target Tiffany Stratton or Iyo Sky for their women's titles. Stratton hung on to her belt on "Friday Night SmackDown" in a win against Nia Jax in a Last Woman Standing Match. Sky regained gold in March with a win over Rhea Ripley. All women will also have to have Naomi in the back of their minds as she won the women's Money in the Bank ladder match. There are still two major events before the WWE gets to SummerSlam in August. The all-female premium live event Evolution 2 will take place on July 11, and Saturday Night's Main Event will take place on July 12.

Kittle To Let Wife And WWE Guide His Retirement Plan from 49ers
Kittle To Let Wife And WWE Guide His Retirement Plan from 49ers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. George Kittle is arguably the top all-around tight ends in the NFL, with some San Francisco 49ers numbers that prove it. Advertisement In 2024, he finished with 78 catches for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns despite a major down year for the team. ... and at age 31, the Kittle arrow remains pointing up. But when that's done? He has a retirement plan ... to move into a different "sport.'' Kittle's status as one of the most productive offensive players in the league is what helped him earn a four-year $76.4 million deal this offseason ... making him the highest-paid tight end in NFL history. But as he revealed on the "Bussin with the Boys" podcast, the length of that extension may be the final window of his career in the NFL. 'I don't know, I think if I get to 35 and it hurts to put pants on in the morning, I think I'll be like, 'Ah, this isn't that much fun anymore,' and I'll have a conversation with myself. But I'm feeling great right now.' Advertisement But when he doesn't feel great about getting beaten up in the NFL ... He's thinking of throwing his hat into the ring ... in the ring of WWE. 'I haven't daydreamed about it or anything like that, but I'm definitely aware that there are potential opportunities and doors that could be open.... I would love to do WWE. I think there's definitely opportunity within that world.'' Yes, George is a fan of pro wrestling. And he is a character in his own right, so it is easy to envision the jump ... 'My only question mark with that is I so much love being a fan of WWE. I would only do WWE if I bought a ring and practiced my ass off for a long time so I wouldn't look like an idiot out there,'' he said. "I've been in a WWE ring like three times. I don't know what I'm doing out there. I have an understanding of how it works ..." Advertisement WWE stardom would be quite the retirement plan for Kittle. Kittle often makes appearances at notable WWE events, so the transition from fan to wrestler would be quite the site, even if for occasional contests. Oh, and yes, his wife Claire will get a vote here. 'Literally, (I'll play) until I don't have fun anymore,' Kittle said. 'Or if Claire looks at me and goes, 'You kinda look like (expletive) out there, you should retire. I'll be like, 'All right.'
